Just another domino falling. College sports quickly heading to obscurity when people and their money are walking away.
Basketball will be next after football settles on the top end.
Somehow us and the other G5 schools will get screwed on this and the P4/5s will come out perfectly fine.
Well…maybe not the Oregon States and the East Carolinas of the P5s, but they weren’t the ones buying players for the past 30 years while the NCAA looked the other way and punished others.
I don't understand "damages"
If wage compensation goes up at your job are past workers entitled to damages?
The wages for players just went up.
Just because players sued for more than just scholarships (and won) does not mean past players were damaged.
They were forced to play for free in violation of their constitutional right to make money . . . the NCAA did not have th right to prohibit NILQuote:

They did not rule that they were playing for free, they ruled that you cannot restrict their income.
The Supreme court did not rule that they must be paid just that they can be paid without restrictions.
So, thou who has placed the restriction in an anti trust situation must pay the damages suffered from the restrictions. That’s what is being settled now.Quote:
